State Police investigate unattended death in Wellsville

WELLSVILLE — Amity-based State Police Friday afternoon confirmed the identity of a man found dead in Wellsville.

State Police Investigator Jed Murphy said Corey J. Haggard, 24, was discovered by a friend Thursday about a quarter mile down the old airport runway, on the west side.

Murphy said there is no cause of death yet, but there is no evidence of trauma. There is no indication of a threat to the public.

“We are considering this as an unattended death, although the case is ‘pending investigation,’” Murphy said. “We are examining some items located at the scene and an autopsy will be completed today or tomorrow.”

The 911 call came in around 11:38 a.m. Thursday. Haggard’s last known address was North Main Street, Bolivar.

Anyone with any further information is encouraged to contact State Police.

“We are always willing to listen to anyone from the public who may have information about any incident that we are investigating,” Murphy said. “We (NYSP) appreciate any assistance or information, and the information may remain anonymous upon request.”
